  That seems to be a scraper. I wonder if it is legal to scrape stock market data and then republish it.

    Not only is it legal it’s insanely profitable! See: https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/campaigns/snl-financial https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/campaigns/snl...

      Firstly, this doesn't scrape prices - they pay for a live feed direct from the market. Secondly, it isn't legal. They are protected by license agreement. But stock prices is not what the value of SNL Financial and/or Capital IQ is for most people. I know a bunch of people who pay the $30K license fee for these (as well as Bloomberg etc) who barely use the stock price at all.
